This is a rare piano to find now adays. Technics hasnt made these guys since the 90's. It is a great digital piano with an amazing action on it. It is full weight 88 key keyboard with progressive hammering. What that means is that you have to hit the bottom keys harder than the top. the weight is different in them to simulate a real concert grand piano. They used Dynamic Acoustic Sampling of a Steinway to get the piano sound. It has 2 official sounds Grand Piano and Electric Piano with 2 hidden sounds a Rhodes and a Sine sound. To get the Rhodes sound turn the piano to electric piano and turn it off. Then hold the 88th key the highest on the piano and turn it back on. You will now have a Rhodes sound. To get the Sine sound turn the piano off, it doesnt matter what sound its set too. Then hold the 2 middle E flat keys and turn it back on. You will now have a sine sound. This keyboard also has a built in tuning knob on the side and midi in and out ports. I use a usb to midi adapter to use my piano as a midi controller. It also has left and right stereo inputs for speakers. All the buttons and knobs are on the left side of the piano hidden from view making this piano look elegant and keep its design simple. This Piano ran for about $1200 US dollars when they were made. You will be hard pressed to find any information on these pianos as there isnt much out there about them. I have looked for hours and not many people talk about them as this was back mainly in the 90's before social media was around and thriving. If you ever get the chance to play one of these amazing instruments i highly advise it. I hope you like the review and enjoy the sounds it can create. I will be adding mp3's of the piano sound soon so that you can get a better sense of the quality.
